Carpinteria, California -- NuSil Technology . a cutting-edge
manufacturer of silicone-based materials for healthcare, aerospace, electronics
and photonics . announces the addition of thin film adhesive technology
to its
family of engineering products.

This film adhesive is designed for ease-of-use in certain
bonding and fastening
applications and can be customized to each application as standard, optically
clear, and electrically and thermally conductive sheets. NuSil's
CV-2680-12, a
reinforced, static-dissipative thin film adhesive, represents one of many
possibilities in this technology.

"We constantly look for ways to increase the efficiency
of our products in
customers' production and assembly lines," said Brian Nash,
vice president of
Marketing and Sales. "We are excited about the possibilities associated
with this
technology and believe it will be useful when precision bond lines and
simplicity
of use are essential."

Thin films adhesives have distinct advantages over traditional
liquid adhesives.
Users can die-cut precisely what is needed, and the low-flow characteristics
of
these adhesives eliminate overflow and many clean-up issues.
Silicone, which is known as an exceptional adhesive in applications in
which
temperature cycling is an issue, can be useful in aerospace and electronics
components and assemblies. In addition, NuSil Technology can customize
this
adhesive technology for specific properties such as low outgassing and
thermal
conductivity.

NuSil Technology's CV-2680-12 is provided in 12-by-12-inch
sheets and is
reinforced with a fiberglass scrim.
